This week has been a busy week for parents taking their kids to the Verizon Center in DC for the Katy Perry show. I heard a lot of great reviews. If you didn’t go, the show was full of eye candy.

She had a very colorful set with things popping out all over…and balloons everywhere with her song ‘Birthday’. A listener said at one point she was cruising in air all over the arena in a harness. I like it when artists can reach beyond the stage and get closer to the people in the back and upstairs. With the handful of listeners I’ve talked with, it sounds like the show was really good. I am curious though, no one mentioned her singing. Did she sing well? I hope so. I hope she can be one of those artist that will last for a long time.

I think we need more icons in the pop industry. Country music has a lot of potential icons with Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, and others. I always wonder who the next Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and Michael Jackson will be.
